Severe weather expected later in the day

SAN ANGELO, Texas - San Angelo can expect intermittent showers and thunderstorms through the rest of the day, with severe weather advisories to increase through the afternoon and evening.

“Wind is the secondary threat, hail is the first,” said Patrick Doll, meteorologist for the National Weather Service at Mathis Field.

Pea-sized hail and possible golf-ball sized hail could be in store for the day depending on the atmosphere, which is fairly unstable as of this morning, Doll said.

By about 10:10 a.m., the Mathis Field area had received 0.22 inch of rainfall, but more is on the way.

“There’s more on the radar upstream,” Doll said.

The significant weather advisory stretches from just north of Eden to west of Lake Brownwood, as the same cluster of thunderstorms that moved through San Angelo at about 9:30 a.m. is moving in that direction.

“We’re going to have off and on showers and thunderstorms through the day,” he said. “There’s a severe weather threat throughout the day, but it’s stronger between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m.”
